[Opening Verse] Metal screams through midnight rain Power surging through each vein Kings of nothing, lords of speed Chasing what they think they need Brothers burning through the night Young gods touching neon height [Verse 2] Pills like prayers into the deep Splitting headache, broken sleep Something’s crawling through his brain Power whispers Tetsuo’s name [Refrain 2] Through Neo-Tokyo’s arteries they ride Thunder echoes, side by side One is rising, one must fall Power answers Tetsuo’s call [Verse 3 ] Flesh is twisting, mind expands City trembles at his hands Former friend now watches near As ambition turns to fear Brotherhood now torn apart As darkness claims Tetsuo’s heart [Bridge] FASTER! Through the concrete maze Past the limits of his days HARDER! As his flesh rebels Breaking from their prison cells [Verse 4] Brain cells firing in his head Memories of friendship dead Buildings crack beneath his rage As power writes its final page One boy drowning in the flow Of what no human should know [Final Verse] Metal bends and atoms scream Reality tears at the seam Power absolute at last Future eating up the past [Final Refrain] Through shattered streets they try to ride As dimensions rip and slide ONE TRANSCENDING FLESH AND BONE ONE WATCHING FRIEND.. BECOME UN-KNOWN! [Outro] Speed and power, blood and rain Streets will never be the same When gods are born from mortal pain And friendship dies in glory’s name… Akira is…brutally transcendent Bring me the next story [end]
